Trad Gang

I am getting interested in getting a tradition leather backquiver.  Please post pics if you got em with the make and model.

I made it lol.

That is a good looking quiver!

I like it although I personaly want a larger quiver that flattens out in the middle.

Thanks.

Ya it doesn't flatten at all lol. I made this one out of very heavy thick saddle leather. I wanted it to be really rigid. I pretty much just rolled the leather into a tube, cut to shape, drilled holes and laced it together with leather thong and latigo. Then I cut out a plug for the bottom to the exact shape of the hole and glued the plug in with ultra heavy duty duty glue. Then I braided the strap and attached it by tying it on at either end. its 100% leather, no snaps or buckles. I do intend on lining the mouth/top with raccoon fur to quiet the arrow rattle. I built it large and rigid to hold alot of arrows. I can get 24 in there with field points. I imagine the fur might reduce that number to 20. To be honest I kind of modeled it after the quiver Legolas carries in Lord of the Rings. His is a rigid tubular design, not the kind that flattens out.

Also I drilled some very small holes about an inch and a half apart all the way around the mouth of the quiver, then I take stretchy cord, also called shock cord, and I used it to make my own home made version of "nock-line". I insert the cord through the hole from the outside, tie a couple overhand knots in the end on the inside and then cut the cord to a guestimated length, and then tie a loop knot in the end. This loop then stretches up over the knock of the arrow and holds it snugly in and against the side of the quiver so they don't rattle or fall out. Theres room for about 8 cords to hold 8 arrows all the way around the mouth of the quiver, but thats plenty for hunting.

This pic shows the "nock line" string loops better. Although there not in use in the pic, I'm sure you can see how it works lol.

Heres a couple I just took with the nock line in use.

Check out Art Vincent's Cedar Ridge Leather Works versions. He's a Sponsor here.
Pricey, but worth every penny in my view. They flatten in the middle, you can bend over and the arrows are held tight.
Art's a great guy and a real artist(bit of an intended pun...).

Here is my back quiver
I made it myself this past winter.

You can't go wrong with a quality backquiver that is properly broken in.

Howard Hill quiver:

I made them all.

I have two made-for-you quivers listed in the St. Jude auction ( 1 and 2 ) if you're interested. I have some in 5/6oz leather up to 7/8ox leather that I have made. All will fold flat on your back with proper break-in. I use the last one in these pics almost exclusively now. It's heavy 7/8oz but flattens against my back nicely to secure arrows while walking or even running.

I don't sell quivers but have listed the two to raise funds for St. Jude.

some nice quivers shown above..I like

Here are some of mine.

 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/comanche/DSCN0422.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/comanche/media/DSCN0422.jpg.html)

try to get better picture later....here is one I got a few years ago from our very own Rob DiStefano when he was in his "backquiver" phase of life.  (yes we are thankful that men like Rob and Troy Breeding jump from hobby to hobby with great talent for us to enjoy)

This was on a PBS sponsored hog hunt in Georgia that required me to paddle a few miles up river to the camp.


It is heavy vegetable tanned leather I think....has a nice collar around top with heavy lacing....and a button from antler.  Then it also has a nice accessory pouch that I use for bow strings.  It has a quiver divider using traditional single leather thong...with a heavy strap that uses a brass buckle for adjustment.  I have only really used it three times in all these years so still stiff and not yet broken into my use...but will try to remedy that this year.   :)

1. Mikes Archery Leather and the only one I've kept. It fits perfect!    :thumbsup:  

2. Twig Archery and the second best one I've had. Should not have gotten rid of it.

This is my roving quiver I made last year.  Took a little while to weave but I like the look and its very functional.

If you ever, ever, ever, ever want to part with the machine stitched Hill, contact me.  I have a good home for it where it will be well cared for.

Thank you Roger. I very much appreciate the kind words.

JayB,
which quiver is that from Mike's? I really like that size.

Hunter series medium, I did ask for a larger pouch.  It's great. I am going to do a leather treatment soon w/ Sno-seal

Just made this one for my son from instructions from tradgang.

Where do you all get your material to make them?

Google tandy leather. They have stores in many states and will ship.

Tracker, It's a homemade quiver and bow. Thanks!

Lots of nice looking quivers on this thread thanks for sharing guys.

This is my backquiver I made in 1981. Patterned after a Hill quiver. I use this a lot and it is still going strong

I stitched the pouch on to hold an extra string and whatever. The sheath has the knife and a file behind it.

This is pretty timely, great article in TBM by G. Fred on backquivers.
I knew I'd be sorry for selling my Mowhawk LB and Art Vincent Rover.
I hate when that happens...

That's some fancy and talented work there!!

Here is a vintage pic sent to me by Suzanne St Charles, 1957 Brooks Range Alaska. Glenn St Charles. I always wanted a quiver like this.  
  (http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z56/Rover-rich/securedownload.jpeg)

Have you noticed that those guys are almost never seen wearing the huge day packs folks seem to feel they need nowadays?

Here is a custom quiver made for me by Steve Catts. The hide is an Alaskan wolverine.

I've tried quite a few back quivers and was never really satisfied with any of them. I couldn't get one to fit me just right so I started making my own.

This one works perfect for me. The pocket is a decent size and I put it on the bottom so it wouldn't throw the balance of the quiver off.

My only issue with it is that it's pretty warm laying across my back in hot weather. I saw a quiver posted here from a TG member of a warm weather model so I made this one for my FL hog hunt this April. It works great.

I plan to make another smaller one like this soon for 3D shoots.

Man thats awesome! Wish i could do that.

Wow! Some really nice workmanship on here!  :notworthy:  
LoneRanger,I have an otter skin here,I think I may try to copy yours.
Here's a pic of the quiver I use for 3-d shoots. I hate the heat and an all leather quiver is just way to hot for me in the summer.

Very nice quivers guys!   :thumbsup:

I also love a good back quiver.  Over the years I used a stiff leather in my quivers, and always found it hard when actually hunting to keep them from rattling around loudly.  

This was my main quiver for a few years now.  I designed it originally after one on lord of the rings, but it ended up being a little ornate. It has a 4 strap harness pad attached to it, and coupled with all of the extra leather in the stitched in design, it is quite heavy.  It works very well, and is great for grouse hunting and target.  But too heavy and noisy for Deer and rabbit.

Recently I ordered a Howard Hill Cheetah. And in anticipation, I decided to make a hill style. I have never used one, or even seen one but there are lots of info about them online, and are said to be the best for quiet hunting.  Also, I wanted to make a quiver light enough, that I could carry a shoulder bag on the other hip without feeling too much strain in the shoulders.  I ended up making it a little more fancy than the usual pattern, but I wanted something a little different as well.

I used Latigo Leather on the design, and a heavy garment style leather for the main body.  This allows the quiver to shape around my back, and the latigo adds stiffness around the top and bottom where it seems to need it.
Here's a pic.

I also really like the Kanati Slim Jim quiver, when attached to my possibles bag.  The only thing I don't like about that set up is that I can't carry as many blunt points as I would like.

Here is one I got on trade, not positive but 3 River's sell them I believe. Great quiver!!!  (http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj633/darinputman/IMG_20130620_172139.jpg) (http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/darinputman/media/IMG_20130620_172139.jpg.html)

Barrbow - welcome....and dang'd nice work.  Especially that Hill style quiver.

Made this one last winter.

welcome welcome welcome.
love the lord of the rings quiver is that a hood to cover the fletchings next to it  what makes it to noisy?
that latigo leather quiver is very sharp. if you go into business let me know you do amazing work.

Here is mine made of bison fur with natural turkey feathers, bone beads, antler buttons, and an ermine pelt with it's winter coat.  I thought about selling it but never have; it's really cool.  I might just hold onto it.

Green and Mr. Fingers,

Thanks very much!  

Mr.Fingers,  that is the matching armguard to the quiver next to it. I styled it after Boromir's arm guards on LOTR.  The noise just comes from the arrows ratteling around against eachother. I tried stuffing the quiver with a shower puff, and it worked... but fell out every time I took an arrow out. The leather cover is a very good idea, and I've been thinking of making one for both of the quivers. I'm afraid if I ever went into business, I'd never make any money though, it takes me forever to make these things! haha.

Thanks again,
Barr

Ok I see now that it's an armgaurd a cover would be cool. So what is that LAYING across the top of the quiver. It looks like a pipe. Is it?

Nice stuff      :clapper:

Mr. Fingers,

Yep, that is LOTR "Aragorn" pipe from Vauen of Germany. Fantastic smoking pipe, but a little awkward to carry around due to its size.

False Cast,

 That Sunset Hill quiver looks very well made, I love Hill style quivers.

Cheers,
Barr

Question for you. How did you punch the holes to lace that stingray? The one and only time I used stingray on a knife sheath it kept breaking the point off my awl and I finally had to drill the holes on the drill press.

No just a lot of starch!  I could send it to you for the right price with a matching possibles bag and bow case.  The closest I can compare it to is linoleum.

Another one I'm working on at the moment. Body made. Pouch made. Gotta make the bottom and lace it on and then make a strap. The pouch is wet from flipping it outside out. I sewed it up inside out and flipped it to hide the seam.

Bud B,
Very nice work. What color are you planning on dyeing it? I always dread making the bottom.

Barr

Natural. Just gonna oil it up.  :thumbsup:

Bud B. Nice work. What weight leather is that on the quiver? I have some 4-5 oz that is way to flimsy and then some 7-8 oz vegetable tanned that seems much too stiff. I'm wondering if I can soften it enough to make it work. I'm a little short on cash right now and hate to buy another shoulder, but really want to get started on a back quiver. I just finished a side quiver out of the 7-8 oz and purposely left it hard (in fact I even added stiffening wires). No way that one will conform to my back   :)  

Ron

Bladepeek,

My quiver I use is from a 7/8oz bullhide double shoulder. Once it is oiled properly and allowed some break-in time it's nice and soft in the right places and holds its shape in the right places. Go ahead and start your quiver.  :thumbsup:

Brother Bud,
I really am enjoying the quiver. She is loaded with files, string, stringer and few other things. I used the quiver at the last 3D that I attended and I received a lot of compliments about your fine made quiver. Thanks Brother!!!

Wife knitted the body, I stitched at the strap and stuffed it with arrow tubes so broadheads didn't catch (not that I have any usable ones.)  I almost feel bad for messing up my wife's handiwork.

She makes awesome knit hats, as well.

This one isn't a back quiver, but will show you how I do the bottoms whether round, square, oval, whatever. I cut a heavy cardboard pattern to just fit into the bottom. I use this pattern to cut two pieces of heavy (8-9 oz maybe) leather. Glue these together. Then I cut another piece of light leather (4-5 oz) about 1/2" larger all the way around and glue the first two pieces of heavy leather in the center of the flesh side of the light piece.

Then, you just push the whole works up into the quiver so you have it inset about 3/8". The thin leather can be glued to the inside of the quiver sides and then punched and laced or sewn in place. Makes a nice, flat bottom that no broadhead is going to punch through.

Thanks for that tip BP.  Nice looking SQ.  I have a couple of them...neither of which is exactly what I want.  Would you mind sharing pics of your entire quiver as I see what looks to be a stiffener in it, and the one quiver I like the best needs me to do something like that to is.  Just fishing for ideas.
Thanks

Nice thread with some awesome looking quivers.

Bladepeek,

That's a great looking side quiver. I do very similar process as you when I put the bottom in... But I never thought to glue it first. That would make punching the holes one step instead of two, and also make it much easier to align holes! Great tip.

Green, here's the rest of that side quiver. Wish I could claim to have designed it, but I stole it from a build-along on another site with a couple very minor modifications. Works well. The stiffener is 1/8" steel rod. I made the sleeves a bit small and had to pound the wire down into them after greasing it up a bit   :)  

PM me if you want to discuss it, as I really feel that I'm now stealing a thread that was about back quivers.

BP - Just completed the idea we discussed via email.  Thanks for the link/pics.  Sorry y'all for the hijack.     :knothead:

My favorite "back quiver". Though not your traditional over the shoulder draw style. It rides along my back at my right hand side and allows a side draw. It fully protects the fletchings and never gets in the way while hunting.

I consider this more of a back quiver then a typical sling style side draw quiver because of how it rides vertically along my back and is held in place with a nice belt with matching leather pouch on it. I bought this at a local traditional shop in Kutztown PA years ago and have no idea who made it and have looked online and haven't seen anything close to it. If anyone knows who made it or someone that makes one very close to it I'd love the help as I'm looking to get one like it for the girlfriend. Thanks.

dcphotog, that's an awesome quiver.
Bladespeek, that quiver turned out very well! I like these hidden fletching quivers, they solve a big problem in the rain for sure!

Barr

That's definitely unique dc.  More pics may be required.  Lol

Better pic.

Finishing this back quiver today. My wife just found a strap of leather for me to use as a strap.
Not sure what the leather is but it is really nice, not sure if it will be really nice for the back quiver but it is what I had in stock and I was determined to use material I already had on the shelf.

Arrows are 23/64 tapered to 5/16 ceder. 640gn with a 160gn point. Working on a simple crest today. All six are between 64# and 67# spine and they really work great out of my 50#@30" Echo.
I will post some finished pics later.
Thanks for looking.

I need to address the bottom with another layer of leather and I need to fine tune the hang/strap attachment.
It allows for a quick reload as she hangs now tho.

Chuck, I'm really liking that quiver. Nice shape on the collar. Assuming it flexes slightly on your back, I think I would like that better than the really limp ones. Hope to get over to your shop one of these days and I may put off doing mine until I can get a closer look at yours. Saw some mighty interesting quivers at the Elm Hall shoot yesterday and I keep forgetting I have a camera in that cell phone of mine    :knothead:

Thanks Ron.
Stop out anytime. I would enjoy the visit.
Wanted to do elm Hall but had something come-up at the last minute.
I am already planning the next one with better/proper materials.

See you the GLLI?

Where do guys get the leather to make your quivers?

Craig, I had mine for years and finally decided to use it for something.
Tandy leather is good and so is the auction site.
They work for me if I am just getting a bit to do grips or small projects that i might fool with. If I was going to do a major project I might look into one of the better tanneries. A search will give you some options from past threads. Other crafters will be around with other places as well.

I've been buying shoulders or double shoulders at the local Tandy store. It lasts me a long time for knife sheaths. Quivers can eat up a bunch of leather in a hurry, so I should probably follow Two Tracks advice and shop for a large tannery and buy direct from there.

Well, here's the back quiver I just finished up yesterday. It is 7-8 oz leather, the same I use for knife sheaths, so it was pretty stiff. A couple of applications of neatsfoot oil and it's softening up nicely. I attached the shoulder strap to the bottom of the quiver with a separate tab and set it up so it would work for either right hand or left hand.

For the pouch button, I used one off a British military uniform. Supposedly came from one worn by the Ayrshire Yoemen. I believe they were a Scottish regiment that fought with the British as late as WWII. The term yoemen in earlier times referred to upper level servants and in medieval times was a land owner who was expected to own a longbow and be proficient in its use. Anyway, I thought is was appropriate.

Ron that is superb !!!!!

Are you going to sell a few of those ?

Thank is quite nice!!

I don't think anyone could afford them. I have two sewing machines - one at the end of each arm   :)  

I guess if I laced them instead of stitching, that could make them more affordable.

Ah but the lacing isn't nearly as nice IMO.. The stiching is what "makes" them.. I thought it was machine stitched, very nicely done !

How do you lay out your stich spacing ?

Thanks Pat & Bud. I space the holes with an "overstich wheel" - looks like spur rowels. I think this one is 7/inch.

that looks good, a real nice quiver ...here is the similar one I made a few years back

Pat you can get a stitch wheel to get the perfect hole spacing or you can use a regular kitchen fork to make the equal spaces, line fork down and press and in every 4th hole line the fork up and get your spacing done until you get all holes done then use a stitch awl and make holes after or also Tandy sells a punch that you press or punch to make your holes

Razorbak, I see you did a lefty/righty too. Makes sense when you put all that work into it. I figure mine will outlast me and neither of my boys is interested in bow hunting, so I don't know if the next owner will be left handed or right handed. I really like your attachment arrangement at the bottom.

Ron

Ok, those are just some sweet looking quivers! Very nice work gentleman.   :thumbsup:    :clapper:
